Baki (バキ) is a jōnin of Sunagakure and a member of its advisory council.
Personality[]
Although Baki is described to be loyal, kind, and respected, like many Suna shinobi, he is ruthless and stern in battle, as they are all trained to put accomplishing missions before comradery. With his experience in battle, he holds a lot of confidence in his power. He also knows his priorities, as he went to Chiyo and Ebizō for dealing against Sasori, as opposed to having another meeting with the council.
During the Chūnin Exams, he had confidence in the ability of all of his team members, although he commented on Kankurō not taking the battles seriously enough. He also worried frequently about Gaara’s mental stability and his control over Shukaku. After Gaara became more mentally stable and the Kazekage, Baki showed absolute respect for Gaara even bowing and referring to him with an honorific even though he was Gaara’s former teacher.
During the Fourth Shinobi World War, Baki decided to fight on the front lines and was a member of the Sealing Team Fifth Division who fought against a reincarnated Kimimaro Kaguya who gave him the fight of his life. He was able to seal Kimimaro.
Appearance[]
Abilities[]
Baki using Blade of Wind.
Baki is a powerful jōnin of his village, as well as one of its council’s highest-ranking members; he was often shown taking charge of military operations, as seen during Deidara’s raid on the village at the start of Part II. In Part I, engaging high-ranking Konohagakure shinobi was of no concern for him. He also appears knowledgeable of other village’s techniques, as he was also able to recognize one of Konoha’s high-level techniques at first sight, as well as how to counter it.
Physical Prowess[]
Baki is shown to be very strong and resilient in battle, being able to easily take a sword strike to his shoulder after the blade went through part of his flak jacket unfazed and stop Hayate from removing his sword with a single hand.[1] Also, having used taijutsu as his first strike on Hayate suggests that he has some skill in the art. is skill in taijutsu was further elaborated on, being able to fend off Hayate’s close-range attacks for a considerable period, forcing Hayate to rely on shadow clones to create an opening, two of which Baki defeated. He could spit out powder to distract his opponent.[2]
Ninjutsu[]
Baki can use Wind Release, and seems to be very adept at it, creating an intangible Blade of Wind with a wave of his hand to slash through his opponents with ease; an attack which he claims to be “unblockable”. Baki was shown able to use this technique in rapid succession,[3] and create hurricanes which draw enemies into it, violently slashing them. During the Fourth Shinobi World War, he was able to covers his hands with the Blade of Wind, delivering a barrage of punches to several White Zetsu, and then finishing them off with an uppercut which create a large gust of wind throwing them into the air before skewering them with his regular Blade of Wind, his comrades mistaking him using the Wind Release: Wind Cutter Technique.
